I lack the unloosen energy to query these guys, but the CGT makes for about entertaining listening.
This is basically iii guys, playing exclusively guitars. The eclectic collection of pieces on this disc arrive at from the Surfaris "Walk, Don't Run" to Bach's Prelude inwards C Minor.
Most odd. Yet oddly compelling. There is something magic nearly classical attending beingness paid to an one-time surf standby.
Hard to explain, fun to nous to. 

These iii guitarist are fantastic artist. The songs are only beautiful. You don't accept to live on a guitar enthusiast to honey this CD, exactly a music lover. However if y'all play the guitar y'all NEED this CD to know what is possible. This volition inpsire y'all similar no other band will.

 This is a LIVE PERFORMANCE. This album was recorded during a concert straight from the guitars. No vocalism miking -so there's non audience applause- together with most important: NO STUDIO MIXING. They audio on the tape equally they did at the gig.
A existent masterpiece from those sort of guitarist 1 aspect to run into alive at to the lowest degree 1 time inwards his life. 

An eclectic mix of jazz, popular together with classical tunes performed on amplified acoustic guitars. The debut album from this wholly un-californian threesome, Bert Lams (Belgium), Hideyo Moriya (Japan) together with Paul Richards (USA).
